Of course, most investors are more interested in getting rich than protecting their assets. This is why they will never leave the stock market. Since the Dow has risen 30 times over the past 50 years, the strategy turned out to be correct. Since 2009 alone, the Dow has grown fivefold! So here we have a clear win-win situation!
The stock market is a "monumental bubble". Even so, such statements are ignored by most investors because their emotions are dominated by greed. If stocks have risen by 3800% since 1971, this is not a guarantee that this will continue in the future.
